Tapping the Birch Tree (Birch Sap Wine)

[gardenmagik]

Great video and awesome accent.. :)

[theawecabinet]

Thanks for this info :)

It made me think:

Knives in nature = useful tools, stay alive

Knives out of nature = stabby, stabby, ambulance, fear and death

Are knives the problem or is lack of nature the problem?

Now I invite you to watch a video juxtaposing 9/11 trauma with Jeremy Beadle's TV pranks....

watch?v=ZhR7qTiuqvM

This is amazing can I ask is this harmful to the tree in anyway ?

THANK YOU FOR THE VID ,-)

[61shirley]

@MsFuturestar1 only if you dont plug the hole back up. The tree can die if the hole is not plugged. thanks for watching

Once you have around 40 litres of water it can be reduced boiled down) and you are left with a sticky syrup which is sweeter than hones, really nice I have 5 jars mad last month :)) you can by it at around £15 per jar but its not as nice as home made

[61shirley]

@UKBLIVE thanks mate

[briddle2]

How long is the tree going to produce? It's been about 2 months, is it OK to try now?

[61shirley]

@briddle2 No not now, It produces for 2 weeks. roughly the first 2 weeks in march

[warprod]

Apparently you shouldnt take more than 3 litres from one tree or it can be harmful. I'm sure I heard that somewhere, maybe something to look into

[richrica]

good vid, worth remembering!



[iandegia]

very good. as soon as the sun comes up im going to the park to try this.

[skootize]

done 1 today and it was like a sring flowing from the tree hope no 1 niks my beer can im collectin it in lol

[losermonster]

@skootize By itself it's just like vitamin water. All the nutrients the tree needs to start a new year. But you can take it and ferment it into wine like you would grape juice...same concept, you'll get drunk.

[xenbay]

Very interesting seeing this age-old skill being performed. The bark and leaves of the willow tree contains Salicylic acid which provided the basis for modern medicines beginning with Asprin.

[61shirley]

@xenbay thanks mate. will look more into that

[AnnoyingTypoSyndrome]

Does that get you really pissed then, or what ?

Or is it like magic mushrooms ?



[Jaoric]

That was really interesting, never knew you could do this..

[bryphi77]

whenever i see someone surviving like their ancestors without gov or corp intrusion... It gives me a warm feeling inside.

Great vid... I learned something.

[drunkanmaster]

Top stuff. I will have to try this some time. Very mesmerizing from start to fin. Is There going to be a part2?. Keep up the good work.

[Veloce3]

[ChannelFadge]

[zealotnut]

[61shirley]

@zealotnut not sure. al get a vid on about it when he does it. cheers mate

[zealotnut]

@61shirley Alright, cheers nice one.

[WolfpawAnarchy]

Nice one mate = great vid, thanks

[mal310]

Good drills, thanks for sharing me ducks!

[splifsend]

intresting stuff, i`ll have to try this one time , just to see what the taste is like

[TrondW3]

Great video. But do I need to do anything to plugg the small hole if I do it the way you first did it? Thanks.

[TheLoonwolf]

I've got silver birch trees in my garden. Amanita Muscaria mushrooms grow near them in the autumn; great for a bonfire night trip. :)

[61shirley]

@TheLoonwolf yes, we get those mushrooms round our way. awesome

[smoky2004]

Really enjoyed the video, what kind of alcohol percentage would this fine wine have?

[skootize]

nice thought about tryin that a while back looks like i got a mission for tomorroaz

[damosapian]

good vids lads, have to try the nettle beer uze done last year also

[jonboda]

p.s. ADVISORY use a glass bottle to collect the sap, and watch out for the aspartame in robinsons fruit juice!

[61shirley]

@jonboda ya right. i keep well away from aspartame and plastic bottles contain toxins. thanks mate

[switchest26]

@jonboda i was gonna say that!!..LOL..the only squash i have found that contains minimal crap is "ocean spray"...cranberry classic!

[jonboda]

@switchest26 try "rocks" organic juice, expensive but nice with fizzy water, or even better a good old peice of fruit! :D

[61shirley]

@jonboda yeah good choice. i buy Asdas brand of fruit juices not from concerntrate, really good price too.

[jonboda]

great vid :D thanks

[PiPphiltitley]
